$job-something sent me on a 3 days course which included wiring a plug. I've got a credit card sized certificate with a hologram on it to prove it and everything.
Other topics included not falling off ladders and don't drop spanners across massive 48V battery banks.

You will need lots for Buckingham Palace to get the density up or you will have capacity problems when there is a state banquet or ball. The trouble comes when the designers don't want them in line of site or want to paint them.
The later is an actual problem I'm having at work at the moment.

Is it the case that for basic use you can run it on your PC for set up and then just run it occasionally for updates, etc?
Yes. I broke my controller once and it wasn't running for months without issues.

Can you not just use a couple of the AP without the cloud key?
You need a controller somewhere. That can be the cloud key, your own computer running their software or a hosted service.
You can apparently run a single AP with an app (iOS and Android) but I'm not sure you can do 2+.

Did it just crash? My powerline adaptors do from time to time and need power cycling.
Extension lead just reduces the speed, they should still work.

Broadbandbuyer are doing 3 years free hosted cloud controller so you could go that way to start with.
You can switch after 3 years to a self-hosted controller or pay them some money.
I have a different router for various reasons.

If you know how to install a package on Linux then I'd recommend Ubiquiti. Or spend a little more (£75) and get a Cloud Key to drive them. The APs (UAP-AC-LITE) are £78 each.
They are a very boring flat disc, you can turn the light off. https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/23763-ubiquiti-uap-ac-lite/

Interesting. I wonder why.
Have you looked at the price of parts somewhere like https://www.espares.co.uk/ ? You should be able to put the model number in that. Or https://www.samsungspares.co.uk/laundry/catalogue.pl?path=627424 ?
Blimey, they have a 5300 W element in some models. How do you connect that drier?

I don’t have a multimeter though
Any multimeter will be good enough for this. Cheap ones will probably be inaccurate but good enough for this.
and it’s been some time since I’ve used one.
Shove the dial to ohms. Check the probes read 0ish when directly connected. Test across heating element.
Have you done this?
Not a tumble drier and not a Samsung but a Bosch washing machine and a Siemens dishwasher.
I did cut myself on some sharp metal on the dishwasher. Dishwasher are a lot harder to service IMO.
For extra fun use ones with security torx heads. Someone in a future time will really hate you.
